rocket silo doesn't use enough power

Post by Cerulean »

My rocket silo is rated at 4MW of power, but I noticed it only actually uses 257kW of power. What's up with that?
I have attached an image of my rocket silo using 257kW of power. This is with no modules.

(This is particularly relevant because I like to install productivity modules on my rocket silo. If my productivity modules multiply a 257kW load as opposed to a 4MW load, I feel like it's really letting me get away with something...)

The tooltip is MAX power not draw while crafting the rocket.

It only ever hits that max while it's preparing to launch.
